Academics -  Qualified faculty will promote academic excellence through educational experiences in and out of the classroom.

Arts -    Our commitment is to provide visual and auditory literacy for every child by promoting fluency in the various modes of artistic communication. Such a program  will encourage disciplined creativity through the use of higher level critical thinking and problem solving skills.

We believe each student is an intellectual, emotional, social and physical being with unique attributes of learning, abilities, interests, and growth.

Philosophy of Education

We, at Abu Dhabi International Pve. School, believe it is the responsibility of the School to provide an educational program, which will assist the students to grow physically, intellectually, morally, and emotionally. The school should provide a program, which will enable students to live happily as children and become responsible adult citizens realizing the most complete life possible within the limits of their environmental and individual needs, interests and abilities.

We believe:

Education is a continuous growth process by which people learn to think and act more effectively.
The school must provide facilities for each and every student to discover and develop his/her ability and personality through experiences in and out of the classroom.
In lifelong learning. Therefore the school must offer all students opportunities according to their uniqueness for the developmnet and mastery of fundamental knowledge, skills, attitudes, habits and values.
An individual's welfare is dependent upon the welfare of others and all must have an understanding of the mutual rights and problems of all people.
That responsible citizenship should be fostered through the development of physical, intellectual, emotional and social maturity.
In every individual's worth and dignity as a person.
Each child should acquire an understanding of, and a respect for the traditions, customs, and heritages of the United Arab Emirates.
The home, the community and school must cooperate for students to develop intellectually and morally.
In encouraging students to use their leisure time constructively.

School Objectives
